Radiesse

Radiesse is a premium injectable made with calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel carrier. It provides immediate volume restoration while stimulating natural collagen production for long-term skin rejuvenation. Depending on its application, Radiesse can function as a dermal filler or as a pure biostimulator when diluted. At Euphie Clinic, Radiesse is used to restore facial contours, smooth deeper wrinkles, and rejuvenate ageing skin through both volumising and bio-stimulating effects.

About This Treatment

Radiesse uses calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier (sodium carboxymethylcellulose) which immediately gives volume when injected, and over time the CaHA stimulates the body’s own collagen production for longer-lasting structural support.

Because the microspheres form a scaffold under the skin, tissue builds up around them, which means Radiesse offers both an instant volumising effect and a collagen-stimulating, long-term rejuvenation effect.

How Does It Work?

  • Adds immediate volume and lifts depressed or hollow areas (cheeks, temples, jawline)

  • Stimulates fibroblasts and collagen production around the CaHA microspheres for sustained firming and structural support

  • Supports facial architecture, restoring contours that decline with age due to bone or fat loss

Key Benefits

  • Instant Volume & Lift
    Provides fast visible improvement to hollows and sagging, often with results seen right after injection.

  • Long-Term Structural Support
    Because of collagen stimulation, results are retained longer than some other fillers and the skin’s quality is improved from within.

  • Wide-Area Contouring & Versatility
    Effective not only for classic wrinkle correction but also for contour enhancement (cheeks, jaw), and even hand rejuvenation (volume loss on back of hands) in many clinics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Radiesse a hyaluronic acid filler?

No. Radiesse is composed of calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) microspheres in a gel carrier, not hyaluronic acid (HA).

In many patients, results last 12-18 months or more depending on treatment area, dose, metabolism and lifestyle.

Downtime is minimal. Some swelling, bruising or minimal discomfort may occur post-treatment, but most patients resume normal activities quickly.

Unlike many HA fillers which can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, CaHA fillers like Radiesse cannot be reversed in the same way. It is important to go to a qualified injector and have a clear treatment plan.

Radiesse is suitable for treating areas of volume loss (cheeks, temples, jawline), deeper wrinkles and folds (nasolabial, marionette), and in some practices, hand rejuvenation (back of hands) and structural support in the lower face.

Risks include the usual injection-related events (bruising, swelling, redness), and rare but more serious complications such as vascular occlusion if injected incorrectly. Because CaHA is non-HA, it has different handling and risk-profile compared to HA fillers. Good practice and injector experience are essential.
